Question

If 2 waves collide with each other, would they cancel out, or merge?

Answer 1

It depends on the velocity, if 1 wave is going faster than the other, it could eat the other wave and thus: Merge.

If they are the same speed they would cancel out, it would be like 2 trucks hitting each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

If 2 waves crash at 15mph they would splash back and fall into the water. Think about boxers.

Answer 2

Answer: Destructive interference occurs when waves come together in such a way that they completely cancel each other out. When two waves interfere destructively, they must have the same amplitude in opposite directions.

Hope this helps :)
